Care and Cleaning
30" Bottom-Freezer
C/eaning
outside
Door handles and trim--Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water, Dry with a soft cloth,
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent, Dry with a clean, soft cloth,
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth
or wet towel, These may leave a residue that can
damage the finish, Do not use scouring pads,
powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing
bleach because these products can scratch and
damage the finish,
Stainless steel--Regularly clean and polish
the Stainless Steel Door Panels and Handles
(on some models) with a commercially available
stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic TM
to preserve and protect the fine finish, Stainless Steel
Magic is available through GEParts and Accessories,
800,626,2002, or GEAppliances,com, Order part
number WXl0X15,
In Canada, please call 1,800,661,1616
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless
steel,
Custom Wood Panels - please contact your custom
panel supplier for direction on cleaning and care,
C/eaning
inside Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box
before cleaning. Ifthis is not practical, wring excess
moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning
around switches, lights or controls,
Use warm water and baking soda solution-- about
a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1
liter) of water, This both cleans and neutralizes
odors, Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry,
Other parts of the refrigerator--including door
gaskets, vegetable drawer, ice storage bins and all
plastic parts--can be cleaned the same way, After
cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side,
This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and
bending out of shape,
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully. Rough handling of tempered glass can
cause it to shatter,
Do not wash any plastic parts in the dishwasher.

location Do not install the refrigerator where
temperatures will be below 60°F (16°C) because
it will not maintain proper temperatures, and the
refrigerator couldl develop high internal
humidity,
For proper installation, the refrigerator must
be placed on a level surface of hard material
the same height as the rest of the flooring.
This surface should be strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator,
or approximately 1,200 Ibs. each. See
the Installation Instructions for complete
directions.

, These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:
- You may hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when the door closes.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
- A water dripping sound may occur during the defrost cycle as ice
melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
- The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a
gurgling sound like boiling water.
- Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping
or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
- You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is
first plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
- The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when
attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
- The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays
activate to control refrigerator components.
- Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as
